C T Online Desk: The youngest son of Myanmar’s detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi said she has been denied urgent medical care.
Kim Aris said the military junta ruling the country blocked prison authorities’ request for “urgent care”.
Prison sources told BBC Burmese Ms Suu Kyi, 78, has been suffering severe toothaches, leaving her unable to eat.
However a military spokesman said she is in good health and receives regular check-ups from both military and civilian doctors.
Ms Suu Kyi has been detained since February 2021, following the military coup that ousted her.
The coup triggered a civil war in the country, and has led to the deaths of thousands of people.
